It is an executable binary.

kermit, put it in a directory in your path and use chmod to make it
executable. I don't know what if anything more you would need to do to

If you have link from it to somewhere the GUI can see it it can be
clicked on and will run through the Launcher.

But I'd like to see a native Aqua-Kermit, like in the olden days :-)-O

In the olden days, lots of people used to contribute Kermit programs from
all over the world :-) That hasn't happened yet in this Millenium. For a
trip down memory lane, look at the Kermit version list:

Re: Kermit for OS X?

I went through the list an come up with 50 computer types I have actually
run kermit on over the 20 years I have been playing with it.

Let me know if you want the list :-)-O
